Vocabulary

Includes words and phrases that are used within disciplines including:

(1) words and phrases with subject-specific meanings that differ from meanings used in everyday life (e.g., table);

(2) general academic vocabulary used across disciplines (e.g., compare, analyze, evaluate); and

(3) subject-specific words defined for use in the discipline.

Supports

Strategies that are used to build students’ academic language within a learning task.

Strategies involve both modeling the appropriate language for the students to use in a learning task a well as opportunities for guided practice.

Content Knowledge/Prior Knowledge

Background knowledge is essential to comprehension, to making connections, and to understanding the big ideas. Background knowledge is the foundation of all academic study. Not taking the time to assess, activate, and build prior knowledge is like throwing the ball to an inexperienced basketball player and demanding that he play like a pro in the big game.

The information and educational context a learner already has before they learn new information. A learner's understanding of educational material can be improved by taking advantage of their prior knowledge before dealing with the new material.

All learning takes time, and it is incremental. No matter how quickly the textbook skips from topic to topic, it is our responsibility to help students fill in the blanks so meaning is complete and rewarding.

Cross-Disciplinary Skills

Creativity and Innovation

THINK CREATIVELY

• Interpret information and draw conclusions based on the best analysis

• Reflect critically on learning experiences and processes

SOLVE PROBLEMS

• Solve different kinds of non-familiar problems in both conventional and innovative ways

• Identify and ask significant questions that clarify various points of view and lead to better solutions

Communication and Collaboration

COMMUNICATE CLEARLY

• Articulate thoughts and ideas effectively using oral, written, and nonverbal communication skills in a variety of

forms and contexts

• Listen effectively to decipher meaning, including knowledge, values, attitudes, and intentions

Assets: Personal, Cultural, Community

“They are existing or emerging interests and preferences,

motivational inclinations, passions and commitments,

attitudes, beliefs, opinions, self-perceptions, personal or

collective identities, and prior experiences, knowledge,

understanding, skills and competencies. When asset

focused factors are present in the classroom, they are likely

to lead to gap closing outcomes.”

(Boykin and Noguera, 2011)

Culturally responsive teaching

Culturally responsive teachers . . .

Empower students socially and academically by setting high expectations and demonstrating commitment to students’ success.

Engage cultural knowledge, experiences, contributions, and perspectives.

Use students’ cultural capital and funds of knowledge to build on strengths to develop/enhance curricula and provide instruction.

Culturally relevant education: CURRICULUM

Content, materials, and lesson plans reflect the diversity of students, families, and global community.

The hidden curriculum is exposed so that students are equipped to navigate various systems.

Students are empowered and taught to think critically about what is taught and why.

Curriculum

Work with a partner/small group (preferably someone you don’t usually work with) to place your strategy in one of these areas. Can you identify an additional strategy area that you don’t see listed? Place a star by it to share with the group.

 

See Anyon (1980) for a deeper discussion of the hidden curriculum and the implications for student outcomes.

22

Reshaping the Curriculum

The curriculum should be integrated, interdisciplinary, and meaningful.

The curriculum should include topics related to the students’ background and culture.

The curriculum should challenge the students to develop higher-order thinking skills.

(Villegas, 1991)

23

Reshaping the Curriculum

Teacher Practices

Use resources other than textbooks for learning

Allow students to interview people and research topics in their community

Develop activities that foster the students’ cultural differences

Allow students the choice working alone or in groups

Develop integrated units around universal themes

(Padron, Waxman, & Rivera, 2002)

24

Culturally relevant education: INSTRUCTION

Learning opportunities are designed to tap students’ funds of knowledge and are student-centered and focused on long-term gain.

Teachers vary instructional moves to meet the needs of learners in the class.

Assessments serve to inform instruction and adjustments to instruction.

Lessons incorporate students to substantiate an informed stance and connection to their lived experiences.

Instruction

Work with a partner/small group (preferably someone you don’t usually work with) to place your strategy in one of these areas. Can you identify an additional strategy area that you don’t see listed? Place a star by it to share with the group.

 

For more on funds of knowledge, see Gonzalez, Moll, & Amanti (2005), who conceptualize funds of knowledge: People are competent, they have knowledge, and their life experiences have given them that knowledge (p. ix-x).

What Do Teachers Need to Know?

Their students (who they are, where they come from, their hopes, their interests, their assets, their talents)

Their students’ communities- become engaged in the community

Reflection- How do you get to know your students and their communities?

I “HEART” YOU

Race

Ethnicity

Culture

Language

Gender

Experiences with?

Interview with student

What is one surprising thing you learned about this student?

What is the student’s strongest identify?

What kinds of authentic experiences does this student engage in?

(Cone and Myers, 2019)

Who are you?

Complete the cultural identity wheel diagram to reflect aspects of your cultural identity make-up.

Use words and illustrations as appropriate to make it uniquely you.

Be prepared to share your diagram with others.

How to Give Feedback

Select: One or two things that the student did very well

Specific: Tell the strategy they used

Set Goals: Give a next step

Standard Based: The standards are always referenced

FeedFORWARD

Let the student know what he/she did right.

Let the student know what he/she did wrong.

Relate the feedback to the objectives.

Let the student know how he/she can get better.

Tell the student what support/tool to look at

Tell the student what you will do to help him/her get better, go deeper.

Feedback- 1st grade

You did a great job picking a topic and something you did over fall break. I like how you used pop-out words in your writing. It seems you may not have known where you could place exact actions in your story. I have highlighted the words in yellow that you need to replace. We will take a look at your exact action super hero graphic organizer and see what words you can add. We will discuss specific actions that you might have done, such as scream or yell on that spooky ride. This will help you get more details in your story! Always remember to use your super hero while you write your future stories. Keep on the good work!
